Help seeing new drive...

[LinuxHawk]

Hello.
I could use some help getting this thing to re-scan the hard drives.
I had a slave drive with 3 30 Gig partitions (FAT 32)
I recently deleted the partitions in Win XP and made it all 1 big drive
Used QT Parted and made it (Ext3).
The Bloody Konqueror, even in root mode will still see the original set up and not adjust.

Konqueror still wants to see the 3 drives I had.

System Settings / Advances / Administration still will not accept to enable the drive.

It was much easier with Mepis and Suse.
I like the Ubuntu, and want to use it, but they have made some things so hard to do.
Sorry for venting, I feel better now.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

The scenario is (correct me if it's wrong):

- Before: you had 3 FAT32 partitions;
- Wanted: 1 EXT3 partition out of these 3 FAT32 partitions;
- After: Linux still sees the 3 previous partitions.

Well, something went very wrong with the partitioning. Somehow it was not applied, if what you say is what happened.

Well, it did go right. I made it first with NTFS on XP and it tested great.
Then I went to Kubuntu, and had the issue. I thought maybe it was having trouble with NTFS.
So I used QTpartd and made the 1 partition it found from NTFS to Ext3.
But Kubuntu still wiggs out and sees partitions that are ot there.

Again thanks for any help...

What do you see if you boot from the livecd and manually try to mount the partition(s)?

Pardon this aside,
but you said QtParted. Most folks here would advise you to use GParted, and many folks have noticed "quirks" with QtParted.
